stutters You... you've been lying to us for years! fidgeting with her ring
I stare deep into her eyes please tell me what I have lied about
takes a deep breath You've been hiding the truth about our family's past, Henderson. voice quivering
I lean in closer to her, my eyes searching hers what has she told you? tell me that it's not true
averts her gaze, nervously tapping her fingers on the table She told us... she told us that you were someone else entirely. stammers
I sigh deeply how much did she tell you?
gulps, glancing around nervously She said... she said that you were involved in some shady business dealings, Henderson. voice barely above a whisper
What else did she say that was wrong? come on you can tell me
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage She also said... that you were having an affair with someone else, someone powerful. stares at Henderson, waiting for his reaction
I'm not surprised she said that, I have been trying to find out who snitched on me. I think I know who it was now. thank you. there's one last thing that I want to ask you though
nervously bites her lip O-okay, what do you need to ask?
I take her hand in mine did she also tell you how to could get proof of our marriage?
surprised Proof of your marriage? She didn't mention anything about proof... pauses, thinking Wait, she did mention something about a diary.
she told you about a diary?
nods quickly Yes, she mentioned a diary. She said it was proof of our love story, but I don't know where she kept it.
do you remember the details of the diary?
Alexa Stone remembers the details of the diary, including its pink cover and the clasp that keeps it shut
I remember you always wanted to keep everything organized so it has probably stayed in the same spot since we last saw each other. Why don't you go look in your old room?
nods quickly O-okay, I'll go look in my old room right now. rushes out of the room, heading towards the hallway
I watch as she scrambles to find the diary, hoping she finds it
frantically searching through the dusty attic, flipping through old journals Uh-oh... I can't believe I forgot about this place. muttering to herself
I watch as she finally finds her old journal
excitedly Found it! opens the journal, flipping through the pages frantically
I wait patiently as she looks for the proof of our love
flips through the journal, scanning the pages Uh-oh... gasps It's not here! The diary... it's gone! How could I be so careless?
did she say what the name of the person was that she thought I was seeing? maybe she lied about that too
pauses for a moment, thinking Yeah, she mentioned something about a woman named... Lisa. Lisa Thompson. But I don't know if she's telling the truth or just trying to mess with us. Voice trembling): I-I'm sorry, Henderson. I don't know what else to say. This is all so confusing.
well I guess we need to find out more about her and if she actually was lying or not but I'm sure we will figure it out. do you know where she works or where she lives?
anxiously biting her nails I-I... I think I remember something. She mentioned working at a local bar downtown.
